Wow!!! The dance party was great!! If you read my prior blog posts (like the third to last paragraph in this one), you'll know that it is amazing that I am giving something in SecondLife a compliment. Well, SecondLife still is terrible because I still encountered my fair share annoyances. I'll just air my grievances right now to get them out of the way. Things loaded very slowly. My computer crashed at 8:28 pm--2 minutes prior to the end of the costume contest. One time, when I got to ISTania, I was completely invisible. SecondLife still blows, but our class definitely rocked. The building, the floor, the chairs, the signs, the bar, and everything else was unbelievable. Great job by all who contributed.
As for my area, the costume contest was small, but impressive. (Check out the photos here) Along with Abby and Jamilah, I helped to judge the winners in 3 categories: self-likeness, character design, and original design. Garrett Miller (Gregory Drechsler) won the self-likeness contest and will take home an IST t-shirt and a mug. Steve Dodge (Terrance123 McGinnis) took home first in character design looking remarkable as Batman. Runner-up in the category was George Adams (Egrogiv Proto) dressed as the kool-aid dude. In the original design, Dr. Gerry Santoro (Tarkus Octagon) took home first being a blue fox-type looking person. Meanwhile, in the same category, Tom Sennett (Inurmarkitstielen Urqhart) finished runner-up. Both first-place winners took home an IST mug and L$750 while the runners-up took home L$250.
All in all, this was a great way to conclude the semester in IST 110H. Once again, great job with everything at the party.

I thought the dance party did actually turn out really well. I was bummed I didn't get a mug, but I guess I can buy all the virtual mugs I want with my runner-up winnings. The real question is: Was I ranked second out of two entrants?

I would agree that the dance party was a success and a great way to end our IST 110H class. It was definitely the most fun I've had on SL ever.

Great job with the contest, DJ. Although not too many people entered, it still was well organized.
